Product Description Mini Curling Iron and Straightener 2 in 1 The biggest advantage of this tool is that it can be used as a 2-in-1 device – it’s both a straightener and a curler. Why buy a separate curling iron when you can use one tool for multi-styling? Its rounded edges are the true stars of the show. This straightener's rounded body easily creates subtle bends, polished curls, and textured waves for gorgeous hair instantly. Going from straightening to curling has never been easier: simply clamp the flat iron around your hair and give it a half-turn so that your hair is in a U-shape. Then hold the straightener-curler duo in this position as you move it down the hair shaft, right to the ends. Et voilà! Bombshell curls in just a few minutes. Create curls, waves, and shiny (not greasy) straight strands with ease by grabbing this goof-proof flat iron. One-Step Rotate Clockwise to Operate The temperature range is one of the most important aspects of your hair. Even though it is said by some manufacturers that their flat iron which features only one temperature setting is suitable for all hair types, this is a little bit of a white lie. Curling irons and straighteners work by heating the hair follicles to change their shape. In this case, the desired effect is soft, shiny, salon straight hair. Thicker and coarser strands may need higher temperatures (up to 400 degrees), while finer hair may need to use a low temperature to not sizzle your strands (The optimum temperature that doesn’t burn or damage the follicles is around 355°F). We know you want styling options, which is why we love grabbing this mini flat iron-curler hybrid. This flat iron has two temperature settings (355 and 430 degrees Fahrenheit) to meet your different needs. Universal Voltage (100-240 volts) If you're going international, voltage is also an important aspect to consider. Voltage refers simply to electricity, and different countries you might travel too have different types of electricity. For example, here in the US, we use 110-120V, but in Europe they use 220-240V. There’s a good chance that your electronics are built for the same voltage as the country in which you bought them. That means that if you take your non-dual voltage hair curler with you while you’re visiting another country, it might not work. In fact, you could even blow a fuse or destroy your travel hair tool if you try to use it. Not cool! A dual voltage curling iron can automatically switch between 110 to 120 volts and 220 to 240 volts. You don't have to flip a switch or mess with any settings, just plug it in and it will adjust. 3D Floating Plates for Soft Touch One of the things a lot of people don’t realize about hair straighteners is the more effective ones have plates that are not affixed to the housing. When you don’t know how it works, it sounds like a bad idea to have really hot things that aren’t secured, but I can assure you they are. Floating doesn’t mean the plates come off. It means they move just enough to be able to flex. The freedom allows the two sides to adjust based on the angle to get as close to each other as possible. The closer the plates get, the more you will be able to clamp the hair correctly. Inexpensive straighteners either have fixed or a single floating plate which means there are areas of the plates that won’t touch because they can’t get close to each other. If they can’t get close enough, they can’t straighten and you’ll find yourself unable to get the right amount of heat on your hair. What should be a 10 or 20-minute job becomes an attempt to straighten your entire head with a 1-inch by 1-inch square of heat, and that will take an eternity. FURIDEN mini curling iron has two 3D floating plates to prevent your hair from tangling, and you can straighten each strand with only one pass. Fundamentally, this hair straightener can arrange your hair better on the plates, giving you smooth hair after pulling it through. Why Are Barrel Curling Irons Dangerous? Barrel curling iron can give your skin third-degree burns if you’re not careful. What’s worse, if they come into contact with water, you risk life-threatening electrocution. There were an estimated 105,081 hair care product-related injuries in the recent five-year, of which 82,151 (78%) involved a barrel curling iron. The most commonly occurring injury was thermal burns (97%; 79,912/82,151). Most barrel curling irons use small amounts of power, yet there are no standards for temperature settings or control. The cylinder containing the heating element is mostly exposed, and many irons do not have a power switch. Barrel Curling Irons Pose Child Burn Risk? A recent study on burn injuries to more than 1,600 children has found one of the main causes of these injuries are barrel curling irons. There were nearly 500 contact burns suffered by children younger than 12, and 81 percent of those were caused by touching hot items in the home, the researchers found. Barrel curling irons accounted for 56 percent of these injuries. The skin of a baby or toddler is much thinner than that of an adult, so their skin burns more quickly and at lower temperatures. FURIDEN mini curling iron features Anti scalding designs and Heat protection gloves. These will give your family a safer styling experience without running the risk of burning fingers, ears, or face. The 60 minute auto shut off and lock function also give you added peace of mind with every use. Come With All The Features You'll Love!
